OTHER NEWS
We had the privilege of giving a tour to the California State Senator Caroline Menjivar. She oversees everything in the Sun Valley community and wants to ensure opportunities are provided for our nursing students. She asked us various questions concerning financial aid, classes, & the education we are receiving to confirm we have the competency of becoming a Registered Nurse. She asked about the values of WCU and why we chose this university over other Universitites.
